Is Nuclear Energy the Future?

OK, it’s official – Oil, Gas & Co. prices are
skyrocketing.
But there is a double effect to the current energy
price hikes -and it may begin to endear Nuclear Power generated energy to
consumers all over the world.
Not for nothing there is an old adage
on which right now many folks in high positions of power plant producers and
governments will build their expectations on before they give the nod to go
ahead.
“First comes grub then comes morality.”
Or
rather ” First comes cash then comes conscience”
???
Lots of Nuclear Power Programs are springing up worldwide and
Toshiba, apparently the biggest plant builder on the planet (did you know that?)
is planning at least 25 brand new power stations for Japan in the near
future.
While consumers having to cough up more and more money to
pay for their mobility and heating, slowly the thought of good old nuke reactors
will be spoon fed by governmental PR.
Wanna bet?
This
is the chance they have been waiting for.
Cometh the time cometh
the slime.
Finally they may now righteously claim to be on the
peoples side and to offer ailing customers much more affordable energy. Straight
in the face of any protest.
The topic is in the air wherever you
look or listen.
More and more energy experts announce of late that
nuclear power is the most environmentally benign and cost-effective method to
generating large amounts of electricity and help to alleviate global climate
pressure.
And what of the risks?
Do we really have to
think in that direction and accept some peoples wishful thinking lying
down?
Yes, if we are unwilling to change and only want to carry on
as we did so far.
No if we understand where to say no in the future
and be consequent more often.
We do not have to buy anything we see
mostly knowing that we do not need or want it anyway? We do not have to go on
holidays two or even three times a year or use electricity in our homes as if
there’s no tomorrow?
Moderation would be a good concept around the
globe.
Always was and always will be.
We could start to think
more of old world values for tomorrow.
We could begin to feel more
freedom.
A good mix of energy sources would be a good idea. There
are so many options. Where there is no alternative nuclear power might have to
be the choice.
Best though would be to consume far less.
It’s so
easy. I’ve tried – not too hard mind you – and it reduced the outgoing energy
bills by nearly 25%…
What do you think?

There are so many other options than nuclear energy. Offshore wind farms and tidal power could produce most of the power we need, where is the investment in those sorts of energy?
Interesting how much freedom there is actually in your suggestion to live differently. Good point.
This is a nice magazine indeed and splendid to have found you after all. Seek to be found .
Shine on!
Reply to Fanman: thank you kind sir!
3rd time trying to leave a comment re. author’s observation that “food for fuel is a stupid idea”. Once gain right there where the truth is hidden. Today it is all the rage where she touched the nerve long before.
Compliments!
Your magazine is sans pareil !
I found you mentioned in an energy blog and can only agree that this is a great magazine. I must find out more about MIZPAH.
Many thanks for Clarissa’s friendly comment. Great to hear that you like our work and especially MIZPAH.
Very good site – recommended
